(From the Musical World.) " In consequence of a letter addressed by this gentleman to the boroughreeve of Manchester, entreating in earnest terms the delivering into his own possession the remains of his wife, that officer referred the question of compliance to the members composing the festival committee ; who, after an apparently mature deliberation, framed a resolution de clining to accede to M. de Beriot's petition. The chief ground upon which those gentlemen rest their refusal is somewhat remarkable, it being no other than that of his having quitted the remains of his wife, leaving the interment to strangers. Without taking into consideration the dif ferent customs of different countries upon the like occasion, and which has already been stated and canvassed, we think that the Committee did not sufficiently make allowance for peculiar emotions under such a bereavement. It appears to us, that the rushing away from the inanimate residuum of what was once beloved, and the clinging to that lifeless clay, even to the headlong resolution of partaking its inter ment, may both arise from the same feeling of exclusive and profound love. The latter course of action, we grant, is the more palpable demonstration of passion ; but it does not follow that it is the more genuine or sincere. We do not desire to beg the question in favour of the party concerned —we know nothing of his heart, and only partially of his ac tions and habits by hearsay ; but believing, as we do, that the course he pursued may equally have sprung from intense feeling, as if he had pursued the opposite one of lingering to the last moment where his affections had formerly centred, we cannot avoid the impression that the Committee may possibly have inflicted a bitter wound by incorporating the rebuke contained in their resolution. That M. de Beriot has been misunderstood is very probable, and we are willing to hope that such has been the case ; therefore, we have deemed it just to advance this surmise for his advantage : that he has been grossly defamed is more certain ; but the mere cesspools of slander every one would avoid who does not possess the soul of a scavenger."—[This is a very foolish paragraph, and must do harm to the man whom it is meant to befriend, because it forces the reader to considerthe facts of the case. Is it true, as alleged and believed at Man chester, that M . de Beriot gave instructions for his wife's bu rial two hours before she died ? It is true, as alleged and be lieved at Manchester, that during a part of that time he and his medical friend were employed in packing up the jewels and dresses of the still-living wife, in order to carry them away to Brussels ? If these facts be true, we shall require some stronger proof than the assertion of this defender of M. de Beriot to make us believe that such a mode of exhi biting severe grief is the custom of any country—that such a course of proceeding " arises from a feeling of exclusive and profound love."—]lforning Paper.] NEWMARKET MEETING.—YXNTERDdr.

GERMANY. MUNICH, OCT. 22.—0 n the 21st a courier from Greece arrived with dispatches from King Otho. The best news that he brings is that the whole country enjoys tranquillity. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, OCT. 17.—The Russian troops that were assembled to be inspected by the Emperor have returned to their cantonments. Next spring, however, there is to be a general review of the army in Poland, for which the Emperor will come to Warsaw. The affairs of Cracow are not yet regulated, and it is not to be foreseen how and when this will be done. We hear that the Arch-Duke Ferdinand, Governor of Galicia, will go, or is already gone, to Cracow, to inform himself of the real state of affairs, and effect by his presence a more speedy organisation of the military and of the Administration. — Frankfort Paper, Oct. 30. BRUSSELS. OCT. 30.—His Majesty the King arrived at Brussels the day before yesterday. Letter for the convocation of the ordinary session of the Chambers for 1836-37, have just been addressed to the Members of the Chamber of Representatives and the Se nate. The letters announce that the session will be opened by the King in person, on Tuesday, the Bth of November next. _ The Chevalier de Zamorano presented on the 28th to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, his credentials as Charge d'Affaires in Belgium, for the Government of the Queen- Regent of Spain, in the room of the Chevalier Argaiz. Nov. I.—We learn by letters from the Borenage, that the fermentation is abating. The arrest of the principal agitators, gives reason to expect that the great body of the workmen will soon retum to their work ; for we are as sured that the greater part of them had no share in the disorders, and begin to be sensible that, by refusing to work, they injure themselves as much as their employers. On Saturday morning, as Sergeant Blair, of the Horse Artillery, was going to exercise his company on Woolwich Common the unfortunate man complained of being unwell ; he was taken from his horse and conveyed home, and, shortly after reaching it, broke a blood vessel. Every attention was paid him, but he died in a few hours. The deceased, who was much r es p ec t e d in th e regiment, has left a widow and five children to lament his loss, CORN AVERAGES.

On Monday night last, about eleven o'clock, a party of drunken tailors, who had been regaling themselves at a beer-shop in the neighbourhood of Cow-cross, Smith field, were proceeding along Ray-street, Clerkenwell, when a female, who was walking some distance before them, slip ped and fell down. An elderly man named Simmons went to her assistance, and was lifting her up, when one of the ruffians rushed upon him with a knife or some sharp instru ment in his hand, and, swearing at him, said it was his wife, and made an attack upon the old man, and inflicted a des perate wound in his eye, which deprived him of sight. He ran away bleeding profusely, when he was pursued by the fellow, who swore he would take his life, which threat he would no doubt have executed had not the cries of " mur der" and " police" brought assistance, and the ruffian was taken into custody and lodged in the station-house. The old man was taken to a surgeon's, who dressed his wounds, and he was supported to his residence in a weakly condi tion. On Tuesday the prisoner, who gave his name Warner, was taken to Hatton-garden Police-office, when Simmons attended with his head and face bound up, and identified the prisoner, who, in his defence, said that Simmons pushed his wife down intentionally, which caused him to strike him, but he denied having used any sharp instrument. Se veral witnesses, however, proved that no provocation was given for the ferocious and cowardly attack. In default of bail, he was committed to take his trial. GERMAN RAILROAD.—It is a remarkable fact that in the formation of the railway between Prague and Pilsen, the individuals employed were chiefly females, each of whose wages amounted to about 6d. a day. There were upwards of 2,000 regularly engaged as labourers, in form ing the embankments, excavating the soil, &c. During the two first years the engineer was able, in the course of forty English miles, to cut no less than 696,465 cubic yards, and to construct 807,844 cubic yards of embankment, besides laying the way with malleable rails. He erected during these two years 73 bridges from three to 18 yards each, with 133,culverts ; and he also made 236 waggons. And all this at an expense of about 75,2001. sterling —Strang's Germany. Yesterday morning the dwelling-house of Mr. Ed wards, watchmaker, No. 17, High-street, Shoreditch, was entered by some thieves, and property, consisting of watches, gold seals, and various articles of jewellery, valued at near 5001., was taken away. A reward of 1001. is offered for the recovery of the property Sir M. Wood's Tom Beazeley, 3 yrs Mr. Sadler's b. f. sister to Delightful, 2 yrs The following were not placed :—Mr. Tanfiel 's br. h. The Ponce, aged ; Mr. Bird's b. g. Cornet, 4 yrs ; Lord H. Seymour's Elizondo, 4 yrs ; Mr. Dawson's Fair Jane, 3 yrs ; Captain Gard ner's Skirmisher, 3 yrs ; Lord Exeter's Creusa, 2 yrs ; and Mr. Shalkine's b. c. George, by Ocean, out of Spotless, 9 yrs. Betting, 2 to 1 agst Tom Beazeley (taken), 4 to 1 agst Elizondo (taken), and 10 to 1 agst. Sister to Delightful (taken). George made play, followed by Fair Jane, none of the others being within twenty yards of them ; in this order they travelled to the ditch, where the other two-years-old joined the front rank ; at the new ground Tom Beazeley took up the running, followed by the two-years-old, Fair Jane having cut it ; at the Ab. M. bottom Creusa declined, and at the turn of the lands Tom Beazeley had tailed of the whole lot except Sister to Delightful, and she, ridden by that little jockey in miniature, little William Day, persevered to the end, and was placed second by two lengths. Some idea may be formed of the figure cut by the others from the fact, that before they reached the bushes there must have been a distance between the first and last—such an expose was never seen. 1001. Handicap.—Famine made steady running, followed by The Professor, Alfred, and Coriolanus, the others lying behind them. At the turn of the lands The Professor took up the work, Coriolanus taking second place next the Duke's stand, Gipsy and Magician running on the lower side. The Profes sor continued his lead to the cords, where Robinson went up, with Gipsy, Magician making his push at the same time. Ro binson, however, had nursed his mare so well that she won cleverly by a length, not a little to the surprise of those collected in the Duke's Stand, /Acre the Professor appeared to be winning in a canter. The favourite was beaten a long way. Previous to the races a large draft from Colonel Peel's stud was put up, and the following sold : The Professor Newlight Luminary A Two-year-old, by Augustus Castaside Slane was bought in for Mr Waggs for .. 340 .. 500 .. 250 ..

Peel's Clifton—taken The rest as before. The weather has undergone a great change since our last: a sharp frost last night was succeeded this morning by a rapid thaw, and this was followed at mid-day by a drizzling rain, which did not cease till after the races. The last change proved of some little service in getting rid of the snow (ex cepting sundry heaps in the streets, which arc very improperly suffered to remain by the authorities of the place), but was exceedingly disagreeable to the company. ARRIVALS.—The Dukes of Rutland, Grafton, Portland, and Beaufort; the Marquis of Exeter; Earls Jermyn, Ches terfield, Wilton, Lichfield, Jersey, Orford, Stradbroke, and Albemarle; the Duchess of Beaufort; Ladies Chesterfield' Lichfield, Jermyn, Suffield, Byng, Wood, and Peel; Lords C.

An opinion prevails that in consequence of the favourable change in the weather, and the want of sport hitherto, there will be racing on Saturday. .. 880 HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

THE JANE COOTS, OF PLTMOUTIL—The following com munication was posted yesterday at Lloyd's concerning the above vessel :—" Fishguard, Oct. 31.—1 have succeeded in saving the cargo of copper ore. The situation of the coast is such that there is no chance of a vessel being able to take the cargo from that place until about April next. The consignee appears determined to have it housed, but I think it would be better to have it carted to Fishguard, from whence it might be shipped immediately, which would be the more advisable. The vessel is so much injured that I fear she cannot be repaired." TIIE HOFFNUNG, CLASSEN, FROM LIVERPOOL TO MEMEL.-- " Lerwick (Shetland), Oct. 26.—The brig Hoffnung, from Liverpool, with a cargo of salt, became water-logged on the 19th inst. The ship Jane, of Hull, on her voyage from Davis' Straits, discovered the vessel with a flag of distress, who went to their assistance, and took the crew out. A party from the Jane volunteered to go on board the Hoffnung. They suc ceeded in bringing her safe into Scalloway, west side of the Shetlands, upon the evening of the 21st inst , where she now lays, and will commence to-morrow to discharge, if the weather permits. A great part of the salt is destroyed." Tix MAW ALIGA.—The undermentioned letter was yester day received at Lloyd's from the Netherlands Consulate : " Fenchurch-street, Nov. 2, 1836.—Sir----With reference to the accounts of the loss of the Dutch vessel the Maw Alida, Captain Bergman, communicated by your agent at Plymouth, I beg to add the agreeable intelligence that the master and crew of that unfortunate vessel were picked up at sea and brought to London, by the Emma, Captain Maine, of whose kindness and humanity on this occasion Captain Bergman speaks in the highest terms. The loss of the Maw Alida was occasioned by a leak, and not by any run down, as presumed at Plymouth.—l am, &c. ( Signed) " J. W. MAY. William Dobson, Esq., Sec., Lloyd's."

British ; pork, on market days, 34d., or 3d. per lb. British ; dried fish, 8 sous per lb. (31-d.) ; bread, first quality, I d. ; second quality, Id. ; and third quality, d. per lb. ; butter, from 7d. to Is. ; bacon, sd. to 6d. ; and cheese, 6d. to 7d. per lb. In the smaller towns and country, butchers' meat is now at 2id. or 3d. per lb., pork not more than 2d. or 24d., and bread about 25 per cent. under the price at Nantes. A farm of 67 to 70 acres of good land, if well cultivated, has generally three men and three women servants, besides additional help during the hay and corn harvests ; but on most farms of 200 to 220 acres there are not more than that number, including the farmer and his wife. Men's wages vary from 120 f. (41. 165.) to 200 f. (21.) per annum ; with a small allowance for sabots, 3f. or 4f., and perhaps a blouse or canvass frock ; altogether, with allowances at har vest times, subsistence occasionally and other trifles, a man servant is supposed to cast the farmer, whether boarded and lodged or otherwise, from 250 f. (101.) to 300 f. (121.) ; women from 150 f. (61.) to 200 f. (Si.) Those paid by the year always live with the farmer. Daily labourers are usually employed all the year : some are fed by the farmer, but not generally. If fed, a deduction is made from the following rates :- sous. d. sous. d. " A man receives from l5 71 to 20 or 9 per day. " During harvest or vintage 25 114- 30 141 " A woman receives from " And during harvest. 20 91 per day. " In some patrs of La Vendee :- sous. d. " Men's wages are 15 or 7. per day, besides being fed. " Ditto at harvest 20 9 " Women " Ditto at harvest 10 4 4 " The harvest in the plains, where resident labourers are scarce, is frequently got in by a set of reapers for the ninth part of the produce ; for which they reap, thrash, clean, and carry it to the granary. A small present in money, according to the high or low rate of wages at the time, is generally given in addition, as a recompense for clearing and making the ground to thrash on. " Very little butchers' meat is consumed by the farmers or their labourers. Their staple food is bread, of which a man consumes about three pounds per day. In the sum mer they generally eat four or five times a day of soup made with bread and cabbages, with fat or butter ; some times a small bit of bacon. On some farms in Brittany butchers' meat is given on Sundays ; on other days, cab bage soup and bread and butter, and latterly potatoes. On other farms, pancakes made of buckwheat are served to the labourers ; but the farmers within these three or four years have turned their attention to the planting of potatoes, in which they find a great advantage over the buckwheat cakes. The quantity of land planted with potatoes since 1830 has been doubled each year. In some parts of La Vendee the mechanics and peasants use millet in lieu of buckwheat ; but there also the farmers begin to understand the value of potatoes. " The women work on some farms. In Brittany they sometimes sow the corn ; but in general they are occupied in the house, excepting those who have to attend the cat tle, particularly the cows ; they take with them their dis taff or their - knitting, and thus prepare a considerable quan tity of the clothing used by the family from the flax raised upon the premises. " A man's hat costs in the country 2if. to 4f. (2s. to 3s. 2d.) ; shoes, 4f. (3s. 2d.); sabots, si-d. ; coarse wool lens, 4f. to 6f. per aune ; one aune makes a peasant's coat, which therefore costs 3s. 2d. to 4s. 9d. sterling ; a pair of trousers the same. Linen for shirts costs 25 sous to 35 sous per aune (9d. to 13d. per yard). During the summer months the men wear dresses of very coarse linen, which is generally made at home ; and their winter garments, as well as the women's, are made of the wool spun at home or in the fields when attending the cows ; the expense, there fore, is trifling indeed. The prices quoted above are shop prices. " Paupers are very numerous in the winter ; there are no provisions for their support in the country. Ia some towns there are poor-houses, which are kept up by private donations, as may be required, by the proceeds of concerts, balls, and representations at the theatres, and collections made at each house by persons authorized by the mayor, to be paid to a board appointed by him, and the council to distribute the money to those in need of relief. In the coun try they maintain themselves by begging, if work be not provided for them ; but in genera], as labourers are scarce, work is found for a considerable number of them on the roads, paring hedges, or other labour required on the farms. The farmers in general are poor ; they occupy such farms as are just sufficient to support their families by the produce they can raise. They are, in this part of France, an ignorant set, are badly clothed, badly fed, and miserably lodged in most instances, frequently sleeping in the same apartment with their cattle. They are not in debt, nor have they any money to spare, and appear contented to move on, as their fathers have done, without any deiire, or, at all events, without any exertion, to improve their cir cumstances. " HENRY NEWMAN, " His Majosty's Consul for La Loire (Dated from Nantes.) Inferieure and La Vendee." " GIRONDE. " With the exception of grain, all articles are subject to tolls, or droits d'octroi, too multiplied and tors exorbitant. The towns being poor in consequence of the spoliations in curred during the revolution, spoliations that have been all to the profit of the state, and which has retained for its own profit those duties of which the towns had been deprived, continue, through a false policy, to maintain and favour those duties which create revenues for themselves, but which greatly injure both the agricultural and commercial interests. " All towns containing above 1,200 souls may establish an octroi, or petty custom-house. " In Bordeaux the average price of meat is— Beef 12 sous per pound...6d. 17oz. Mutton 12 ditto 6 , Veal 14 ditto 7 " In the rural districts— Beef Mutton 10 ditto 5 --- Veal 9 ditto 4 -- " Pig meat varies everywhere from 8 sous to 12 sous a. pound, 4d. to 6d. ; bread, 3 sous per pound, lid. " In the district of Medoc, where the culture consists almost wholly of vines, and where the proprietor holds all his land, he divides his property into prix faits,' portions of land consisting of 8 journaux, about 64 acres, the la bour of which is done by a man, his wife, and child. The man is called a prix faiteur' (Anglice, fixed-price man'). His employment is the dressing, pruning, &c. of the vine. In addition to this man, an ox-driver, called a valet,' is required, who with a pair of oxen suffices for the plough ing of two ' prix faits,' 16 journaux, about 13 statute acres. In the district of Bordeaux, where the vines are cultivated solely by the spade, and where no ploughing is required, two men, with their wives and children, undertake the cultivation of 20 journaux of vine, about 16 acres. Some times, however, extra aid is given them by the proprietor. " The wages of a prim faiteur' in Medoc are as follow— !Francs. s. d. 425 17 0 0 " lie earns annually in money " In addition he receives four hogsheads of piquette, valued at 25E, and wood for fuel, valued at 30f 55 I 2 4 0 480 19 4 0 198 7 18 t) " The wife and child earn annua11y.........

" During the vintage, which lasts about three weeks, the whole family i s f e d by the proprietors on the very best food, butcher's meat, v egetables, salt fish, wheaten bread, and piquette. " Throughout the department, except in that portion called the Landes, the labourer generally eats wheaten bread and wholesome food, such as vegetables and pulse, but seldom butcher's meat. Their drink consists in wholesome water, exce pt in the vine di s t r i c t s , w h ere th e y drink wine and piquette, a beverage made from the residue of the grapes and the lees of the wine after it has been drawn off, over which water is poured. 4 , In the Landes the labourer's fare is by no means as good : it consists in rye bread, a species of soup made of Indian corn, flour, and millet ; rarely, if ever, of butcher's meat. Sometimes he adds to his bread a bad sardine—a small fish of the herring species, salted and dried. His only beverage is water, which is very bad, being almost always stagnant. " The lives of these people are short, seldom exceeding 55 years. " In the neighbourhood of the Basin d'Arcaehon, and o work. " One foundry for the manufactory of steam-engines and chain cables. " Three small foundries, employing about 20 hands. " Four ditto copper, employing about 30 hands. " Two shot manufactories. " One copper rolling machine. " One lead ditto ditto. " One manufacture of zinc. " Two letter-press foundries. " There are sundry other manufactories in the depart ment, but of little importance. " At Bordeaux, a manufacture of tobacco belonging to Government. " Paupers, generally speaking, are not very numerous in this part of the country, for"; the population being so small, every person who is able and willing to work can always find employment. No legal provision is made for the paupers. In the town of Bordeaux there exist local institutions for the relief of the paupers, such as the Bureaux de Charite (offices for charity) ; these, however, are insufficient, owing to the want of means, for the purpose to which they are destined. The Depot de Mendicite (a kind of workhouse), supported by private contributions, is worthy of notice as having been the means of suppressing to a very great ex tent street begging. Since its institution in 1827, the num ber of professional beggars has decreased from 700 or 800, to 150 or 200 ; the average population of the establishment amounts to 350, of which number not above 50 are professed beggars. 7 rßegging is forbidden, .and beggars are taken up and confined in the Depot de Mendicite, where they are obliged " In the rural parishes, paupers are entirely dependent on private charity ; the consequence is, that though many will beg an opportunity occurs, there are few who make it their profession. " The condition of the farmer is not generally prosperous ; capital is wanting. That of the proprietor is likewise far from prosperous from th• same cause. The day labourer alone appears to be well off, especially in the neighbourhood of Bordeaux and the district of La Reole." THE EARLY SNOW. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, OCT. 29.—Owing to a severe storm of snow last night we had a very short supply of wheat from the country at market to-day, and having little in from the coast, the trade improved fully 3s. per quarter. The millers have come to the determination of advancing the price of flour 4s. per sack next week. South country barley is in good demand, at an advance of 4s. per quarter ; but north country is out of favour for the present, in con sequence of malting so indifferently. We had a very short supply of oats at market, which sold readily at last week's prices. The duty on barley and peas has declined ls. 6d. per quarter this week. BUXTON.—On Friday week the road between Buxton and Ashburn was covered with snow to the depth of three inches. Such a spectacle at this period of the year has rarely been witnessed. BERWICK.—During the last week the weather has in general been mild, and favourable for such agriculturists as had not previously finished their harvest operations. Scarcely a drop of rain has fallen, and in this neighbourhood all tho crops have now been secured. Though they are, as every where else, with very few exceptions, deficient in quantity, yet the prices which are now realised, and which are still rising, may in some measure counterbalance the disad vantage. On Wednesday afternoon and during Thursday it blew a strong keen gale ; but the wind has fallen to-day, and the weather continues " kindly but frosty." Since our first edition was thrown off the weather has changed to a violent storm of snow, which is now lying at a considerable depth.—Berwick Advertiser of Saturday. SCOTLAND.—A rather sudden, but not altogether un expected change took place in the atmosphere on Thursday evening. After a tolerably fair day, a smart frost succeeded in the evening, and by Friday morning the ice stood more than half an inch thick upon the stagnant pools. Betwixt three and four in the afternoon a dense shower of.snow be gan to fall, which, before sunset, had enrobed the fields in the garb of December. It inspired very unpleasant feel ings to witness the shocks of corn clothed in a garb so un becoming, and to see large fields of potatoes pulverised over with a top dressing so unsuitable. We have not, for a long series of years, witnessed so early a fall ; but we were not taken at unawares. For several days the robin had pre dicted it, and just about two hours before the commence ment of the storm, he sought shelter in a school-room in Wallace-street ; but the ill-bred urchins having eyed him scared him off from a retreat to which, poor fellow he would have been heartily welcome. There is every reason to ex pect a severe and early winter. Mr. Mackenzie, in his " Manual," has foretold it, and hitherto he has not erred greatly his predictions. Many of our winter visitants of the feathered tribe have already made their appearance, and the northern hills have for some time been covered with snow. The present season bears a strong resemblance in many re spects to that of 1794, when the writer remembers perfectly seeing the reapers busied in cutting down the corn in the parish of Strathaven after the old term of Martinmas. From present appearances this will probably be the case this sea son, at least in many parts of Scotland. The potato crop yet under ground is in great hazard, and, therefore, farmers will do well to embrace the first favourable opportunity of raising them.— Glasgow Constitution. Mr. 'Wilkinson, of the White Hart Hotel, Uttox eter, recently met with his death in a melancholy manner at Ashbourn fair. A. cow was running after a dog, and in passing Mr. Wilkinson, struck one of her horns into the upper part of his thigh, and lacerated the femoral artery which bled so profusely, that he only survived a quarter of an hour. He first said be was not much hurt, but imme diately afterwards exclaimed, " I am a dead man," and ex pired before he could be carried into an inn. On Friday night information was given to Inspector Fryer, of the B division of Police , of the singular and mys terious disappearance of a gentleman named Overa, re. siding at No. 5, York-street, Stepney. It appeared that on that evening Mrs. Overa went to chapel, leaving her husband at home, and on her return she found that her husband had gone out, and in a few minutes afterwards she perceived a slip of paper on the table which had very re cently been written on by her husband, as the ink was not. perfectly dry. It was addressed to her, his wife, and com menced by saying—" When you will find this I'll be no more—and I'll take great care that no person shall find or , • know where my . body will be." This intimation very natu rally alarmed his wife, and . she at once sent to the nearest s tation-house to gi ve i n f orma ti on o f it t o th e p o li c e, and,a. description of his person, so that if they met him, they might. detain him. It seemed that Mr. Overa had resided fit' many years in the East India, where he had realised some property, and latterly has expressed a strong desire to go back there. For several weeks he has been in a melancholy and dejected state of mind, and there is strong reasons t e , suspect that he seriously contemplated the act of self -de struction. No tidings have yet been obtained.
